The New Face of Atlanta Comedy is Gold

By Rosey Sumrall.

If you’re in need of a good laugh, one comedy club is soon to be the most talked about comedy venue in Atlanta.  In fact, at its previous location in the Warren City Club, it won the award for Best Comedy Show in Atlanta in 2008 by Atlanta Magazine.

Comedy Gold is the name, and Sidelounge is the place. Every weekend you can see some of Atlanta’s best up and coming comedians, along with others from all over the country.  Some of the regulars include Gilbert Lawland, Patton Smith, and Karen Hilton.

First created by comedians Jarrod Harris and Gilbert Lawland, this comedy club has something for everyone.  The performers are always on their game, tackling even the touchiest subjects in a way that will have you spitting your vodka tonic out your nose!
It is always a surprise at Comedy Gold.  You never know what the comedians are going to say, or who is going to show up!  In fact they recently had comedian Ron White, of the ‘Blue Collar Comedy Tour’, show up for a secret show!

Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the doors open at 8 pm, with shows starting at 9 pm.  Get there early to take advantage of the great drink prices at the bar. Admission is very reasonable as well. In fact, you get in for only $5 with a student ID, while general admission is $12.

Comedy Gold is located at 3652 Roswell Rd on the corner of Piedmont and Roswell Road right next to Landmark Diner, a convenient location from anywhere in the Atlanta area.

Once you have had enough laughing for the night, walk on over to the Landmark Diner to grab a quick bite to eat.  They are known for their extensive menu items and great tasting diner style food.

Once you have been to a comedy show here you will see what all the fuss is about.  They have everything you look for when making your weekend plans- entertainment, good food and great drinks.  Add in the bonus of the funniest comedians in Atlanta, and you have a perfect venue for your next weekend!
